Duplex New Roof NE, Calgary AB
Make Over Time: This roof is in need of a full make over!! The shingles on here were badly damage by the surrounding trees as they started to over grow and damage the shingles. One way to prevent this is by having your trees regularly trimmed by an experienced arborist, but if your shingles are starting to look like this you have come to the right place. The Done right team pulls out their Makeup bags and get right to work completely stripping off the old worn shingles. After the old shingles have been removed we lay down a Synthetic underlayment (this is a upgrade from reg underlayment) It is extremely important to have the proper protection under your shingles it acts as a water barrier, we have seen many times where the previous shingles and been installed right on top of plywood causing roof rot. You can see that we doubled the roof vents in the after photo. This home originally had two vents which is not nearly enough for a house this size. Not having the proper ventilation can cause issues like attic rain which will cause the roof to fail prematurely. We use Duraflo WeatherPro vents, With the WeatherPRO Series they feature a unique baffle system that wards off driving snow and blistering rain plus eliminate bird nesting. In the after photos this client went with our mid-grade shingle The Malarkey Highlander an Antique Brown which nicely complements the brown colors of the home. The Malarkey Highlander shingles have great features such as Limited Lifetime Material Warranty, 110 MPH Limited Wind Warranty, a 20 year scotch Guard Algae resistance warranty. Malarkey is so confident with their warranties that they let you the consumer choose from a list of competitor’s warranties… Check out these great Before and after photos!!!
